Pediatric dermatological conditions

Dermatological conditions are becoming more common in Pediatric and Dermatology practices.

The skin is the body’s largest organ and the preservation of its integrity is important to maintain its protection function against external aggressions.

Children have specific pathologies with specific manifestations and forms of evolution and each age responds to different diagnosis and therapeutic methods.
